Question

I was looking to fill my Django model fields with data using a Python script. I know that if you had a Publisher model you could go into python manage.py shell and do:

>>> from books.models import Publisher
>>> p1 = Publisher(name='Apress', address='2855 Telegraph Avenue',
...     city='Berkeley', state_province='CA', country='U.S.A.',
...     website='http://www.apress.com/')
>>> p1.save()

How could I run similar code in a Python script without going into the manage.py shell?

Answer 1

You need to point to the settings yourself.
